From 10am to 4pm on Saturday, March 8th, we will debut RIMOSA’s two new hands-on exhibits – as well as some previously established ones - at Brown University’s Granoff Center. We’ll be doing the installation, “When Dreams Take Flight”, as part of Brown University’s 250th Anniversary Opening Celebration - which has lots of organizations and activities coming together to make a huge FREE experience OPEN to the PUBLIC that day on College Hill. Come make your own animations come to life on our NEW Zoetrope, experiment with airflow with our NEW Flight Tube, and help create an art piece consisting of colorful kites – a piece where 250 individual kites will come together into a single piece of art.

Our Mission

Is to kindle curiosity and encourage experimentation. Or, more officially, The Rhode Island Museum of Science and Art merges art and science creating innovative, interactive exhibits and programs that awaken curiosity, encourage experimentation, and improve understanding of the world around us.

Our Audience

Although our focus is towards older children–too old for children's museums, but too young to have lost the desire to tinker, experiment and create–our open-ended, hands-on exhibits are engaging, fascinating, and fun for all ages!

Our Location

RIMOSA is happy to announce that we have a site! We now share a space with fellow non-profit organization, Inspiring Minds at 763 Westminster St Providence, RI. We are currently setting up our exhibits and will open in June to the public!
RIMOSA is still running programs with our partners around RI and will be very busy this summer with library programs and community camps.
